f. <br />excavation to adjoining areas occurs using these materials to reclaim previously <br />excavated areas. <br />i. Estimated time for each stage — the entire excavation of the site should take <br />app. 10 years. There will be periods when this pit is idle but still active. <br />Reclamation should be completed within 1 1/2 years once mining activities <br />cease. <br />ii. Description of size and location — we're anticipating the size to be app. 10 <br />acres being worked at any one time. The location will vary as deposits are <br />exhausted. <br />iii. Sequence of each stage — we're anticipating starting at the northwest portion <br />of the site, mining toward the south and east. <br />i. Nature, depth and thickness of product to be mined and overburden — nature <br />of the product is rock to be processed into road base, depth varies from appr. <br />6" to appr. 5', thickness varies from appr. 5 to appr. 25 feet. The type of <br />overburden to be removed is a rock and dirt mix since the rock deposits are <br />just below the surface. <br />ii. Nature of the stratum immediately beneath — nature of stratum immediately <br />beneath the material to be mined appears to be sandstone <br />g. Primary and secondary commodities — primary commodity is road base; intended <br />use: road base for County Roads. Secondary products, if encountered, are 1. big <br />rock; intended use: may be used for rip rap and 2. overburden; intended use: may <br />be used for road work <br />h. Name and describe all incidental products — no incidental products are expected <br />i. Explosive will not be used in conjunction with this mining <br />6.4.5 EXHIBIT E — Reclamation Plan <br />1. see below <br />2. <br />a. type of reclamation — the reclamation will be to reapply stockpiled topsoil <br />once excavation has ceased in a given area and disturbed/affected slopes <br />are constructed to no steeper than 3:1, it was chosen since the pit will <br />generate this soil, the amount of acreage is the entire pit, reclamation of <br />excavation sites may take place as adjacent or near adjacent earth <br />excavation occurs, using these newly excavated materials to reclaim the <br />previously mined areas <br />b. the pit will be reclaimed to a rangeland use, the same as the other land <br />uses in the vicinity <br />c. the reclamation plan will be implemented <br />i. 3.1.1 post mining use — rangeland <br />ii. 3.1.2 not applicable <br />iii. 3.1.3 see section 6.4.4 <br />iv. 3.1.4 no public use <br />v. 3.1.5 <br />Page 3 of 20 <br />
